The house will reconvene on Tuesday, February 18, 2020. Premier watch Premier Doug Ford was in Mississauga Friday to re-announce funding for community policing. ​ ​ Specifically, the Peel Regional Police is getting $20.5 million from the Community Safety and Policing grant program, a $195-million envelope the PCs announced in mid-December. In Peel, some of the cash will go towards more neighbourhood watch services, police town halls and “cultural community outreach.” "My message to the criminals that are watching us now: we are coming for you, we are going to find you and we are going to lock you up for a long time,” Ford said at the news conference, which featured a well-armed police backdrop. ​ ​ Solicitor General Sylvia Jones, Attorney General Doug Downey, local PC MPPs and ex-PC ​ ​ ​ ​ leader-turned-mayor-of-Brampton Patrick Brown were also in tow. ​ ​ Brown and Ford had their first official sit-down since Ford took office at the Peel police station ​ ​ where the announcement took place. The pair discussed crime, CCTV cameras, courthouse resources and health care, according to the mayor. “I appreciate the cooperative tone,” Brown tweeted, alongside a “prayer hands” emoji. Ford defended the decision to appoint Toronto police constable Randall Arsenault to the ​ ​ Ontario Human Rights Commission, despite the fact he was not part of the official candidate selection process.

  • April 19, 2021 the Honourable Doug Ford Premier of Ontario Queen's
    April 19, 2021 The Honourable Doug Ford Premier of Ontario Queen’s Park Toronto, ON M7A 1A2 Dear Premier Ford: Re: Reform COVID-19 Operating Restrictions Framework: A Responsible Business Protocol The Whitby Chamber of Commerce represents recognizes the damaging toll the pandemic has had on Ontario’s business community. Forecasts of rising business bankruptcies, supplier, and bank delinquencies due to operating restrictions imposed by lockdowns and lockdown frameworks are alarming. Given the long-term forecast, now is the time to revisit and refine the regional operating restrictions framework to ensure it keeps Ontarians safe, builds business confidence and does not unduly harm our economy. We stand with our Provincial counterparts copied on this letter and recognize their innovative and responsible approach to revising the current Provincial framework. Thank you specifically to the Brampton Board of Trade for recommending the Responsible Business Protocol in January 2021. The “Responsible Business Protocol” refines the current colour-code system, calls for better definitions of safe operating protocols by sector, and recommends adding a community contact reduction framework to better address pandemic spread. Most importantly, the recommended Responsible Business Protocol puts the onus on businesses to adhere to a common safe operating framework to continue to remain open. In essence, it is a solution that simplifies understanding of rules by sector, addresses community contact reduction and most importantly, minimizes further damage to our economy while fighting the spread of COVID-19. At the heart of the Protocol is the understanding that compliance with safety standards is an integral part of running a business. It impacts every size and sector from retail to restaurants, from construction to manufacturing.

  • “As a Straight, White Man — Wait, Not White.”
    Queen’s Park Today – Daily Report February 6, 2020 Quotation of the day “As a straight, white man — wait, not white.” Liberal leadership candidate Alvin Tedjo, who is of Asian descent, makes a quip about using ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ fellow contender Steven Del Duca’s speaking notes during the party’s LGBTQ forum. ​ ​ Today at Queen’s Park On the schedule The house will reconvene on Tuesday, February 18, 2020. In the park The Ontario Autism Coalition will stage a “freeze-in” to protest the Ford government’s delay in implementing a needs-based autism program. Families and advocates will march on the legislature’s south lawn and stand still for five minutes at 11:30 a.m. Coronavirus scare shines light on need for public health funding: NDP The Opposition and government traded barbs over concerns about the coronavirus at Queen’s Park on Wednesday. That’s despite the latest update from provincial health officials that there are no new cases beyond the three previously confirmed, and as the number of cases under investigation continued to drop this week. NDP Leader Andrea Horwath held a press conference to call on the PCs to reverse future ​ ​ funding cuts to public health, while Health Minister Christine Elliott’s office fired back that ​ ​ Horwath was trying to “score political points.” “Ontario’s expert public health officials have been unanimously clear: Ontario is prepared to effectively respond to the 2019 novel coronavirus, something Andrea Horwath herself acknowledged,” Elliott’s spokesperson Travis Kann said in an email statement. ​ ​ Kann added that public health officials have briefed the NDP three times on the matter in order to ensure all MPPs are informed and “to demonstrate that the health and safety of Ontarians is and always should be above politics.” Horwath did admit Ontario’s response to the outbreak has been “outstanding” but stressed that “we need to keep it that way.” She urged the PCs to cancel planned funding cuts and asked the government to review public health resources in order to keep Ontarians safe in the future.

Review of the 2018 Ontario Provincial Election Andrea M.L. Perrella Wilfrid Laurier University – Email address: [email protected] Simon J. Kiss Wilfrid Laurier University – Email address: [email protected] Barry J. Kay We are sad to note that Dr. Barry Kay passed away in December of 2019. He contributed to this review and had over the years provided much sought-after insight into election campaign dynamics. Abstract Ontario’s general election on June 7, 2018, brought the Progressive Conservative party to government for the first time in the 21st Century. The PCs’ victory over the incumbent Liberals, however, reached this point despite much turmoil. Months before the election the party faced a crisis when its leader, Patrick Brown, resigned amid a scandal. The PC party hastily organized a leadership election that put Doug Ford at the helm, who then led the party to victory. The following election review traces these steps and looks at some dynamics that contributed to both the PC leadership vote and the overall result of the election. The PC leadership election is analyzed, providing evidence that Ford’s rise may reflect some of the populist sentiment that has gripped other democracies. The analysis then turns to the general election, focusing on media coverage and issue salience, particularly as they relate to the party leaders. Survey data are examined to build some explanatory vote-choice models, which shows that voters in the general election appeared less moved by populism than a desire to punish the Liberals.
